Re:The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor by mikewarot on Tuesday July 25, 2023 @09:23PM (#36872010)
I'd use it for making my own SQUIDs[1], as a start. There are a number of experiments I want to do, and things I want to understand[2][3], and not having to have cryogenics keeping the detectors cold would be helpful.

I'd also like to use this for antennas, transmission lines, and tuned cavities.[4] There are a lot of things you could do at VLF frequencies[5] that require long, long wires... with lots of resistance, unless you have a defense budget, the resistance eats into efficiency. Superconductors could help deal with that.
